How can I install win 8 and win 7 on the same machine

I am running Win 7 Ultimate and want to install Win 8 Pro as an additional operating system without remove Win 7 and then have the ability to boot to one of the OS.

One possibility would be to run Windows 8 as VM on Windows 7, although it may not give the best experience.

Otherwise you're going to need another partition or another drive to install Windows 8 on. If you're talking about a laptop, then additional disks options are few but for a desktop computer, it is by far the best option.

Provide the original disc is not full shrink the current C: partition to create the ability for Windows 8 must be installed on the empty space is not so difficult, that's exactly what I did with my Acer Touch PC to allow me to test Windows 8 and it worked perfectly (no space for another drive). I could even point Windows 8 at the partition of Windows 7 to search for drivers for the unidentified material, and all have been resolved.

  • ThinApp - I can't install Excel 2003 and Access 2003 on the same machine

    Hi all

    I have a problem and I can not solve. I have two packages of creatud:

    • Excel 2003
    • Access 2003

    When I install a package, it's the work of weel but when I try to install the second, I got this error message:


    A version identical or newer Microsoft Office Access 2003 (VMware ThinApp) is already installed


    Can you help me please ?

    Miluge

    The reason for the same GUID (MSIPackagecode, MSIUpgradecode) is the capture of the individual components of a single configuration. In your case, you could have captured Access 2003 and Excel 2003 in a single Office 2003 configuration. Thus, ThinApp share the same GUID of the original configuration.

    To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

    1. open one of the package.ini and uncomment the code MSIProductCode and MSIUpgrade (by removing ';' at the beginning)

    2. change code both MSIPackagecode and MSIUpgrade for this package. You can do it by changing just a single bit in the 32-bit key.

    For example, if your GUID looks like below,

    MSIProductCode = {2DF388F8-535F-6909-DBBA-288792F19500}

    MSIUpgradeCode = {0B400927-A236-B536-B00A-8961831A298F}
    You can change the values as below. Here I changed only the last piece

    MSIProductCode = {2DF388F8-535F-6909-DBBA-288792F19501}

    MSIUpgradeCode = {0B 400927 - A236 - B536 - B00A - 8961831A 298G}

    3. rebuild the package and test it. It should work now.

  • How can I install El Capitan on several computers at the same time?

    I live in Spain, where I have a few computers to service. The internet lines here are slow and unstable, so it is difficult to get all of the updates in without entering the trail other activities.

    I wonder if it is possible to download El Capitan on a single computer and then distribute to others, after which I can update at the same time am.

    Would this be possible?

    According to the license agreement, the license of the OS is for you only, but you can install on any computer YOU own and control. So if download you it and then reject the Setup program before you start, you can find it in your Applications folder from where you can copy it somewhere safe to use on another computer that you own.

    Because the download is linked to your Apple ID, use it on another computer does not work as it should download it using their own Apple ID or they will never be able to reinstall or update that the used ID does not correspond to their.

    And, since you said you 'service' of computers, you will need to look at another type of license - you will need to contact Apple. The retail license is nothing for you.

  • How can you Hotsync a T5 and one E4 with the same Palm desktop program?

    My husband and I had 2 Palm Tungsten, a T5 and an E2. How do you use the same office palm hotsync our Palms? What program would work better for both of them? Thank you!

    All available versions of Palm Desktop can be downloaded here:

    http://KB.Palm.com/SRVS/Nua/launchKB.asp?c=33529

    Please note that what you are looking for is Palm Desktop 4.1.4E.  The E stands for "extended", which is required for the fields in the database of contacts who use the T5 and E2.  If you only download the version 4.1.4 (without the E), you will lose this feature on your desktop.  I think both versions are also the same.

    You will notice that the E2 is not in the list for version 4.1.4E.  It is only because they now recommend the new version (6.2) which was designed for Vista desktop computers.  Unless you have a Vista desktop, you gain nothing by using version 6.2 and you actually lose some features.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook 15-199sa: can I install more RAM and an SSD at the same time?

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion Notebook 15-p199sa I would like to be updated by installing an additional 8 GB of RAM and an SSD.

    I could do both at the same time, or it would be more advisable to do one at a time?

    Usually, I'd do one at a time, but take it apart the laptop and remove the motherboard are quite a job! I have a Ph D in breaking things and I know that if I take the laptop part twice then nothing good will come of it.

    I was considering also put the current HARD disk in the optical drive, but somewhere in the 20 pages of comments to this thread deals UK it is written the header on the motherboard for the DVD player is only SATA I - someone has a I experience to put a HDD in SATA optical drive? (or did someone knows if the header is really SATA I - the manual does not say).

    Otherwise, I could put the existing 1.5 TB of HARD drive in an external enclosure and connect it to a USB 3.0 port. The manual says to connect external drives to these ports is OK but it does not have all the features - would it be a good idea to use a powered USB 3.0 hub or a powered external case? (rather than using the bus power).

    Uh, that's all for now, I think

    John latter

    Hello

    Nothing prevents you to do both at the same time. I have half a dozen old records HARD in USB 3.0, USB 2.0 external enclosures and they work fine. They work on all of my laptops and more comfort than those who have power supplies (much smaller than now).

    Kind regards.

  • Can I install multiple copies of Vista Ultimate on the same machine?

    Hello

    I want to give to my family access to my machine (after a lot of introspection - us material are very protective of our stuff :)).  However, I will not give them access to my installation optimized for Vista game: it took an eternity of disabling and uninstalling things to do to get into this State.

    I know at least one of them will want to install full of things, such as the device drivers and IBM DB2 and other things that I don't really want to have it on my setup, that is purely for the start in as fast as possible and to play games on.

    So I want to install another copy of Vista on a different hard disk on the same computer to use.

    Will it be legal?  It will activate OK?

    Thank you

    Hello

    NO.

    It's not legal

    A vista license = AN installation of vista, even on the same computer

    You can set up different accounts for them in the existing vista installation

    User accounts to ensure that several people can easily share a single computer. Each person can have a separate user account with unique settings and preferences, such as a background theme and color office. User accounts also control the files and programs that you can access and what kinds of changes you can make to the computer. As a general rule, you'll want to create standard accounts for most computer users.

    How can I install win xp on U300-150 / model: PSU30e

    I try to start from the CD Win XP SP2, but don't can't detect any HARD disk.

    How can I do?

    There is no option in the bios to support SATA or IDE

    Please help me

    Hey Buddy

    You won't find any IDE or SATA settings in the BIOS. The problem is that you have not installed the SATA driver that is needed to install the XP on this laptop.

    Intel Matrix Storage Manager is the key!
    The storage manager should be included in the Windows XP operating system during the installation process using the F6 key.
    On the other hand, you could include the Storage Manager using the free app called nLite.

    possible to install the client tools OBIEE and OBIEE server in the same machine.

    Ex:

    Last week I've updated Patch BP1 in my local system, in the process, we got the update also oracle Client tool

    You should not install client tools because they will be automatically installed w install the server. The 11g installation guide says "do not install client tools on the same computers that host your server instances Oracle Business Intelligence, client tools are already installed on these computers (as part of the installation of Oracle Business Intelligence)."
